Aside from pure curiosity and or research purposes... Is there any everyday/practical apps/uses for something like this, for the avg joe? Building something for 500 that would normally be 10k, already has me intruiged.

Just don't be too critical, or exasperated... They'll quickly categorise it as rude/disrespectful. Ignore any & all contribution, refund, & then bump you in an instant. And they'll do all this in a ham-fisted & egotistical/condescending way. My experience of their culture, is it doesn't bode well LT.

Re:Being Mixed-Race Is Weird on Tuesday February 21, 2023 @04:46AM (#34878982)

Thanks for sharing, I grew up in PNG, where the culture, generally, was way more egalitarian.

I had all mammer of friends from diff races/cultures, seeing each other as different, or better/worse, was much less prevalent than in PNGs former colonial administrator -Australia.

Most of my friends weren't white, or were mixed race...

I finished my high-school and university study in the latter, the differences were quite marked, though they have equalised somewhat, over the last 25yrs.

Still, to this day in Australia, I don't have anywhere near as many coloured friends/associates, as I did as a child & preteen/early-teen in png.

Some time ago, I was diagnosed with a number of cognitive issues, one of which is 'addressed' with a stimulant called Vyvanse. In the 1st year or so it wasn’t a panacea, but it was undoubtedly the single-biggest help to me getting on w.life, & I was doing "all the right things" at that time, not just popping pills!At times, it was truly a godsend/revelation, to stick with the religious...

Re:Ask HN: Can competitors catch up to Apple Silicon? on Monday July 04, 2022 @07:44AM (#31975980)

"For many years, AMD GPUs were cheaper and equally or more performant than NVIDIA GPUs. Did that stop NVIDIAs lead in AI training? No, software support is the key component. It's the same with Apple's M1. I don't know anyone who is using it. People need obscure x64 instructions and CUDA. And that means you buy AMD CPU + NVIDIA GPU as the cheapest high-performance combination."

Riiight, but, OP isn't necessarily talking purely from an AI/ML use case.
